Need 4.5-5k+ cant make up my mind

[sxpimpin 10+ year member]

Right now I'm running my single AQ 2200d on my pair of HDC3 18's. I'm trying to put a good deal more power on them without having to get too much crazier than the 220 amp alt I'm going to order, and maybe an extra battery or two more. I've got two yellow tops in the rear now and stock up front, big three done of course. I'm trying to stay under 600.. but could swing 700ish if its really worth it.

I'm running dual 2 ohm subs so I'm at .5 right now on the 2200d. I've been looking at adding another 2200d, or I have a buddy willing to buy the 2200d as soon as i find new amps I want...

I've been looking at the DB drive 2k's, Crescendo 2ks or the 3500, Hifonics BRZ 2400.1s, but i keep finding different options. What would you guy's do? I could care less about having the same brand amps/subs I just want all the power I can get for under 700.

its a shame you have the budget you do. but you could pick up the mmats 4k that bad for health was selling and get it fixed. monster amps and are built to play .5 all day and .25 for burps.

buy another aq2200..one per sub would be plenty

Upgrade those batts time to move away from those optimas they holding you back as is.

I got the batt's free-otherwise I'd have some big batteries... I can't complain though with a stock 105 alternator im only dropping to 13.1 or so with the 2200d at .5...

Aren't the DC amps reallly high?

no point in selling the 2200 and going through that whole hassle, it will be easier just to get a second 2200. you can strap them if you want

OP, alternatively if you are willing to buy now, you could sell your 2200 and get this

eh.. I dont prefer sundown.

I kind of promised the 2200d to a good friend only reason I haven't chose to take the easy route of getting another 2200d...

I'm sure the crescendo 3500 will do 4200+ at .5 daily... hmm
